> Hi Guy's I had my Horton rebuilt two years ago. We just came back from a 3000 mile trip & every thing ran good with the fan cycling on and off as normal I aired it up & checked the fan & it was turning. My fan switch was on override & it shouldn't been turning. I couldn't get it to quit turning. Even when My air tanks were drained it still wouldn't spin free. It is locked up. Any one have an idea why it would go bad in a couple years? Thanks Don

Hi Bob

 

 

   My fan must be wired different than yours. When my green light is on my fan is not turning & when I throw the switch  the light goes  out & my fan is engaged & turning all the time. When my tanks are MT my fan is spinning free. Don't ask my why. I didn't change any wiring at my solenoid switch. The wiring at the solenoid switch has plugs that you can not get mixed up. they are reversed plug in.I took the horton apart today and I got it working. I was using some water to clean my rad. a week ago  & I think the water locked up the fan as I didn't run it afterward  It sat for at least a week. Anyways I got it back together & I think it is fine.

Hi Don
 

As per many of my previous posts I do have some history with the Horton. I rebuilt mine myself. Not a difficult job. Getting it off was the hardest.

I am confused as to your comments regarding the override switch. As you know we have the same coach (90 SP 36) and when the fan override switch is energised--green indicator light on--the fan is locked on. As the previous poster stated fan on is when there is NO air to the unit. Fan off (clutch disengauged) is when there is air pressure at the Horton. So when your air tanks are MT the fan is locked on.
